robclem21 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 After your regular clinical duties (except post-call usually). You make time. Usually you make the most time in the immediate pre-exam period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellorie Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Also helps to have a book or some notes on you so you can do a little review in the random downtime you get (waiting for everyone else to turn up for rounds, waiting for your resident to turn up to meet you, eating lunch, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blah1234 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 As people mentioned whenever you have time. Breaks in between patients, post-call days, weekends. Honestly, clerkship studying is a good preview of what you'll need to do during residency to keep up. The studying gets more intense on top of more intense responsibilities.

DocBrown9 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I'd usually bring my iPad with me. Mileage varries but for non clinic based rotations you can usually get some reading done during the day. Obviously this all depends on your efficiency. People always say CTU is super busy but tbh I found it to be the chillest rotation. Even when you get assigned 8 or 9 patients, if you do stuff efficiently (ie see all your patients (writing urgent orders as you go), do order and finish notes while waiting for a cosign), you actually end up having a lot of free time to study.

Galaxsci Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I always tried to extend my day by an hour or so depending on when I finished on CTU. If I got out of there by 5, I'd stay at the hospital and study for an extra hour or two before going home. If I finished at 4, maybe 2 or 3 hours. That way, when I got home, I'd actually be able to chill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
